November 13 to November 17, 2017 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

The developers have been preparing brines and rubs for their Thanksgiving turkeys and thus haven't been putting out the new stuff we have in the hopper. I'm guessing there'll be a lot more to say in this space a couple weeks from now.

Bugfixes

If you attached a PDF to a dropboxed email, we were throwing a permissions error if you tried to open it from the student's Activity Feed.

Found another instance of where we were using three decimal places in a calculation involving test question point that was jamming up the works. We fixed up the calculation and now it's like none of this... ever happened.

Transfer credits applied to course groups weren't unlocking courses on the registration page that require that course group as a prerequisite. If this is giving you a vague sense of déjà vu, that may be because we fixed something similar with concurrent-prereq course groups just last week.

And that's it! As for the turkey-brining thing, just kidding. The developers were hard at work on Populi all week, and no one, to my knowledge, was actually adding salt and orange peels and aromatics to five gallons of water in which they would submerge a turkey. I was just trying to fill up some space.
